Celine Dion’s All The Way: A Decade of Song Album
Obviously, I’m a huge Celine Dion fan, otherwise, I wouldn’t own this album, which effectively chronicles the artists hit songs for an entire decade. But more than that, I just love to listen to all the songs in this album, since Dion always sings in a heartfelt manner.
She …

Mastodon Leviathan CD
American Metal heads Mastodon have created a style that is all their own.
Their first album, “Remission” blew everyone away with their raw, crunching and meat grinding riffs, explosive solos, throaty vocals and amazingly complex yet hard hitting drums. The sound quality was a little shoddy, but it mattered not. …
Emily Schonberg
If there was ever a voice that could carry me to sleep, lift me up to a higher place, and make me smile all at once, the sweet sound of original writer and cover artist Emily Schonberg is all of these things and more.
I first encountered Emily, who is …
The Beatles - Good Night (Song)
Good Night is a song by The Beatles which is the final track on their self-titled album, or The White Album. Good Night opens up with this very majestic sounding string section which has this very corny sound to it to be honest but I know this is what …
Metallica - Blackened (Song)
Blackened, the opening track of Metallica’s fourth record, opens in a similar fashion to Fight Fire With Fire, the opener from Ride The Lightning, and Battery, the opener from Master Of Puppets. In fact, now that I think about it, Blackened also seems to share a common lyrical theme …
This is the 21st Century (song) by Marillion
This is the 21st Century is a song by the progressive rock group Marillion, which was first released in the 1990s but which has had several further releases since that time, some of them in a (to my way of thinking) considerably inferior acoustic version that was cut to …
Gogol Bordello - Let’s Get Radical (Song)

Joe Nichols - I’ll Wat For You
It is not like me to review asimple son, while essentially I am not a strager to reviewing music in the form of albums and their artists, but this is a first for me and for a very special reason. The song I am writing about, I’ll Wait For …
Metallica And Lou Reed - Cheat On Me (Song)

The Flaming Lips - Ode To C.C. Part I (Song)
Ode To C.C. (Part 1) is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their second release, Oh My Gawd. I will say right now that this track is not a traditional song by any means and I find it to be quite a disappointing song on the …
Secret by Heart from the album Brigade year 1990

The Who - Tommy (Side I)
Overview —“ Side I of Tommy, The Who’s rock opera, is a track which starts out with probably one of their best songs up to this point but unfortunately goes downhill from there. After listening to Overture, I truly was in awe and I expected a really well written …

Neutral Milk Hotel - April 8th (Song)
April 8th is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and is the penultimate song on their debut album On Avery Island. Though Three Peaches, another song on this album, had a pretty dark and sad sound to it, I must say that April 8th is easily the darkest track …
CD Louis Armstrong 16 Most Requested Songs
16 Most Requested Songs is a jazz CD featuring Louis Armstrong on trumpet and vocals. The music is medium-tempo, fast enough to dance to but not overly exciting. Louis Armstrong has a somewhat rough voice for a singer but I enjoy listening to him sing- it sounds …
Iron Maiden - A Matter Of Life And Death

Sugar by Demure
I came across this song on MySpace and was quite drawn to the singer. She has a tone that kind of reminded me of Amy Winehouse, but without all the gravel in her voice. The song’s lyrics kind of confused me at first. But then …
Don’t Tell Me by Avril Lavinge
Don’t Tell Me by Avril Lavinge is a song I like to listen to when a guy tries to tell me what to do and I tell him to go buzz the heck off. I hate guys who do that and my friends do to. All the guy wants …

Jacks Mannequin - Everything in Transit
Ever heard of Jack’s Mannequin? You should have. Not because of rising popularity or the fact that the band recently accompanied Plain White T’s and Panic! At The Disco on tour, but because of the melodic, piano-filled tracks that fill debut album “Everything in Transit”. Jack’s Mannequin brings a …
Vegeable by Radiohead, track
Vegetable is a track off of Radioheads debut album Pablo Honey which was released in 1993.Vegetable is listed on the album as track number 8. I personally think that this song is an infinite times better than “Creep”. It is such a catchy song and actually rather relaxing.
The song …

Bizzy Bone Heaven’s Movie

Space Dementia is a song by Muse which appears on their record Origin Of Symmetry. The track opens up with a graceful piano line that has somewhat of an eerie feel to it but it does exactly what an introduction for a song should do, it makes me want …
Vox AC15 CC
The Vox AC15 CC is a 15watt class A tube amp that is something of an amalagam of previous AC 15 models. The amp is fairly big, and very heavy, weighing something in the neighborhood of 80 pounds, but it’s still easier lugging around than a halfstack.
The AC15 CC …
Circus by Britney Spears
Listening to Circus by Britney Spears, I must say that she has definitely improved on her style of singing. Though not that much of an improvement, her songs are mostly trance-like and kind of like an 80’s era or disco kind. You can’t quite put the money on …
“Through The Fire”
“Through The Fire”

Can’t Fight This Feeling (song) REO Speedwagon

Billy’s Christmas Wish by Red Sovine

“Here Without You” by Three Doors Down
It may just be my personal preference for acoustics, but this song is just beautiful and breathtaking. Especially when I can relate to it.
From my point of view, this song depicts the loneliness and pain of having to live separate from your loved one, a.k.a a long distance …
